iPod 5th gen questions

iPod 5th gen questions

Alright so I found this in my granddads drawer, I have no idea if it even works because there’s no charger for it but I want to get it running

Do I get FireWire to 30 pin or will standard usb be fine?

If I switch the hard drive to micro usb, can I preload music onto it? I don’t have a MacBook or iTunes to put music on it through directly.

Should I get a new battery for it?

Will my AirPods work with it if I put a Bluetooth adapter on the jack?

Last but not least will have to be how much will it cost? I have Spotify premium and I’m wondering if fixing this thing up will cost more than Spotify. Thanks guys 🙏🙏

New jacket recommendations?

So if you guys remember, I have a C03 Detroit jacket but it has some issues that can’t be fixed such as it just not fitting me and it being too warm for every season where I live so that’s going to my older brother. I’m looking for an unlined duck cotton jacket, traditional fit (mainly because I’m fat but a bomber would be pretty cool too), & anything that’s just cheap right now. I believe when it comes to carhartt I’m a size XL but I’m not entirely sure.

Can I chop this thing off?

I’m thinking about taking off the muffler part of the exhaust because it’s rattling and shaking something fierce to the point I have an exhaust gasket leak. Should I do it?

More questions

Alright so just to get straight to the point so I don’t waste your guys’ time more than I already have:

New exhaust: I’m looking for just a simple long style exhaust that goes all the way to my back wheel, nothing for performance or anything like that because my bike cannot handle the power I’m forcing it to endure.

Front wheel Drum break: I been talking about disc brakes until I got the idea for a drum brake. My thought is it’s better than two v brakes. Would it fit or will I be needing new forks? Also will my dual brake lever work if I only have one cable attached?

Speedometer: I’m thinking about getting an analogue Speedo because I like the old timey look of it. Worth it?

Chain adjustments: when will I know it’s time to adjust/replace my chain?

Alright, that’s all I got for now. Thanks 🙏🙏

Upgraded front forks

So this is gonna be more of a wish list post more than anything but I wanna get front suspension and a front disc brake so I can actually stop my powerful ass bike. Would anybody know to fork dimensions of the 26” hyper cruiser? If not would I be able to fit the brakes onto just my stock forks?

My wheel got destroyed

So I was riding as normal but then my wheel started rattling and when I stopped, I had no wheel apparently, the tube and the rubber separated from the rim but the tube is completely flat even though it was perfect before. It’s whatever right now because I’m going on a road trip next week and I can’t be bothered to fix it right now because of that. But, I really could use some advice on what to do because this is the first time something like this has happened. Thanks guys.

EDIT: the spokes are fine by the way.

Is it too late to save these? (Mink oil?)

Hey fellas, so I bought a set of work boots a few months ago and I’m completely brand new to maintaining nubuck leather and I decided to be stupid and put them through rain and now they’re all spotty at the bottom parts. My main goal is to apply mink oil to them to both darken them up and make them waterproof. I tried cleaning them up with some household items that TikTok said it’d work (it didn’t). Can I still apply my mink oil to these or is it not even worth the hassle now?

Will disc brakes fit?

So my stock breaks kinda suck ass so I’m wondering if I should invest in some decent mechanical disc brakes. If I can’t get disc brakes I’ll just try to make do with what I got

New brake pads?

Alright so I think I need new brake pads already because I adjusted them perfectly last night and now they’re all weird again, they’re weaker. Is there any upgraded pads I can get for rim brakes?

So I thought a set of loose fit b01 black double knees back in January and now they’re turning both brown and grey in some areas. I’m just wondering if this is normal and if I should be concerned about it going brown rather than grey
